Just a few routine questions – rehearsals yesterday for Mountain Language, part of New World Order.
‘One for the Road’ – rehearsals at the Town Hall earlier this afternoon.
From the Town Hall this afternoon where rehearsals begin for New World Order very very soon . . .
Now “INTER UNDAS ET COLLES FLOREMUS” (between downs and sea we flourish) Brighton’s original motto was chosen by Sir John Cordy Burrows who was the town’s first Mayor.
The second of my picture sessions for 2007 Festival produced shows was for A New World Order. The title given to a selection of late Harold Pinter plays to be staged as promenade/site specific pieces in the bowels of the Town Hall at Bartholemew Square. The lower ground floor and basement levels of the building at one time housed a Police Station and cells which were in use as recently as the 1960’s.
First performed at the Royal Court in 1991 The New World Order lasts 10 nerve wracking minutes and was described by the Independent as getting “closer to the nerve of torture than any play I know”.
I photographed Harold Pinter during Brighton Festival 2004. Below are two photographs from the session at the Town Hall.
